I met Dr Birtle post surgery and to get pathology results, so it was a meeting I was anxious about, had my cancer spread was it treatable?, from the start of the meeting the clarity of information given the understanding of my concerns were carefully managed, I felt she totally understood how the patient (and family) were feeling and the explanation of the pathology results, next steps, likely outcome were given in a clear way, the “journey plan” what she thought what tests I would be having how my progress was and would be measured, I felt reassured and whilst it’s the beginning of a journey for me I’m confident in the care I received, when it’s a tough diagnosis Alison Birtle is a great doctor to have on your team.
